Publisher's summary

Ashton is just a typical small town. But when a skeptical reporter and a prayerful pastor begin to compare notes, they suddenly find themselves fighting a hideous New Age plot to subjugate the townspeople, and eventually the entire human race.

Amazing

I’ve read the book. But to hear the sound effects and all. It all came to life. I really enjoyed listening. I will definitely listen again and have my children listen as well.

Just as thrilling and powerful as I remember!

Fist read this book in the early 90’s and then again several years later. I remember reading the entire book in one night the first time and in two nights the second time. The story is relatable even though it’s fictional and the angels being strengthened by prayer is empowering for me. It’s a reminder that prayer, communication with God and faith can bring you through anything. Hearing the book narrated by the author makes it more amazing.

A little over the top

I enjoyed the book and thought the audiobook would be a great way to revisit it. The story was still good but the narration went a little over the top at times. It was more like a performance, my least favorite style of audiobook.

A Favorite!

Loved it about 25 years ago, and love it today. A great realization of how evil and good coincides.

Incredible Experience

Frank did an AMAZING job reading the book and bringing the true essence of the experience to life. It made my commute incredibly enjoyable for days...because I listened to it three times in a row.

Definitely worth the listen!
